Storm Isha tracker map reveals when it will hit each area of the UK.
Storm Isha has been named by the Met Office today, with the national weather service placing the whole of the UK under a 24-hour-weather warning.
Amber and Yellow weather warnings have been issued for Sunday, 21st of January, and Monday, 22nd of January, as Storm Isha is set to bring 80mph winds and four inches of rain to the country.
Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, has said: "Storm Isha will bring strong winds to the whole of the UK through Sunday and into Monday. The areas of particular concern are reflected by a large Amber severe weather warning which covers Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland, Wales, much of northern England as well as southwestern parts of England."
Mr Suri continued: "In these regions we could see gusts frequently between 50-60mph and even up to 80mph in exposed coastal locations. As the storm starts to move away on Monday morning very strong winds will also develop in the far southeast of England, bringing the risk of 70-80mph gusts here too in the early hours of Monday morning."
The Met Office have also warned there may be mobile phone outages and disruption to travel, with rail, air and ferry services possibly cancelled.
Mr Suri added: "Storm Isha will bring a disruptive spell of weather to the UK with strong winds across the whole country. Heavy rain will cause additional hazards, particularly in the west. A number of severe weather warnings for rain have also been issued. Keep up to date with the Met Office warnings and pay close attention to guidance from your local authority."
